Census 2020

The results of the 2020 Census will be used to determine how federal funding flows into communities over the next decade. That funding shapes many different aspects of every community. From school programs to support for firefighters and families in need, Census results affect our community every day.

States also gain or lose seats in Congress (and the Electoral College, which determines presidential elections) depending on how much their Census-reported population changes.

It only takes a few minutes to ensure we receive the funding and representation we deserve. Complete the Census today at 2020census.gov.
